Anger about cladistics is part of my personal brand. Yinzer. Queer. Probably thinking about systems theory.

You work here long enough you move past the fear that comes from understanding the frailty of human life and replace it with taking joy in the small things that make life worth living.

Becaus…" Billionaires are investing millions of dollars to confuse and mislead us about the Pennsylvania Supreme Court election. Why? Because they understand how high the stakes are. That's why its so important to educate ourselves about this election and make sure we’re registered to vote by Monday October 20th! #votepa #pacourts #pacourts2025 #theleuguepartner @leadwithleague @vote.paView all comments

Jane Goodall, legendary primatologist, has died at age 91 Jane Goodall, primatologist who transformed our understanding of the lives of apes, has died, according to an announcement from the Jane Goodall Institute.

We should all lead a life as interesting and useful

The Sentinel gave fandom so much, completely unintentionally and via the weirdest possible set of fanon. Only Star Trek has done more.

He is purposefully seeking a regime in which he can do and say anything to anyone and nobody is allowed to hold him accountable, either in the courts or by writing about it in any place.

This is what he is trying to do.

And I need to remind you that in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against Trump, he appealedβ€”and is planning to appeal to SCOTUSβ€”that he should not be subject to civil damages because of presidential immunity.

This lawsuit is asking to be a vehicle for overturning NYT v. Sullivan (which established the actual malice we know and love for public figures).

It is a request to overturn longstanding precedent that allows us to criticize our politicians and remove our free speech.

Korea's leading press agency publishes accounts from the Hyundai/LG employees and execs who were brutalized, put in chains and subjected to hours of racist taunts by Trump's secret police... much of which was comically ignorant (ICE agents called them "Rocket Men"). Needs US translation.

Also someone at the rink is in a bible camp shirt that has the acronym DILC on it which apparently stands for Deep Integrated Lifegiving Community but I can’t help but interpret it as Dad I’d Like to Cuck

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

It’s Player Tiers Day.

We talked to more sources than ever to come up with the top 150 NHL players for 2025-26.

It’s interesting, I promise.

Supreme Court upholds 'roving patrols' for immigration arrests in Los Angeles The Supreme Court says immigration agents may stop and question people they suspect are here illegally based on little more than working at a car wash, speaking Spanish or having brown skin.

"Half the population” of greater Los Angeles "now meet the government’s criteria for reasonable suspicion," in the wake of today's 6-3 SCOTUS ruling.
